This is a list of the tallest skyscrapers in Canada. This list does not include the CN Tower, as it is not technically considered to be a skyscraper. To qualify, a building must be quoted by a reliable source as having an official height of more than 500 feet tall.

Buildings are ranked according to their height to architectural top, as provided by multiple sources. In the case of 1250 René-Lévesque, while there are multiple sources suggesting the antenna should be included, this is certainly a controversial decision. If the antenna was not included, it would drop this building to #11, making the Suncor Energy Centre in Calgary the tallest building in Canada outside of Toronto.

Toronto has the most entries on the list with a total of 19, accounting for half of the buildings over 500ft in all of Canada. Calgary ranks second with 12 entries followed by Montreal with 6, Vancouver with 2 and Niagara Falls with 1.
